<p>Callin bindings may also mention inaccessible methods
(cf. decapsulation <a href="s3.4.html" title="&sect;3.4&nbsp;Overriding access restrictions"
class="sect">&sect;3.4</a>).
Due to the reverse call direction this is relevant only for base calls within
<code>callin</code> methods.
Base calls have unrestricted access to protected base methods.
Accessing a base method with private or default visibility is
also allowed, but signaled by a compiler warning.
</p>
<div class="note">
<h5>Comment:</h5>
A base call to an inaccessible base method is considered harmless,
since this is the originally intended method execution.

<p><em>(Cf. <a href="s3.4.d.html"
title="&sect;3.4.(d)&nbsp;Private methods from super classes"
class="sect">&sect;3.4.(d)</a>)</em>
If a callin binding shall bind to a private base method, that method
must be defined in the exact base class to which the current role
class is bound using <code>playedBy</code>.
<br />
If a private base feature must indeed be callin-bound, a role class
must be defined that is played by the exact base class defining the
private feature. Another role bound to a sub-base-class can then
be defined as a sub class of the first role. It will inherit the
callin binding and through this it can access the desired feature.
